The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBuddy is still on the phone, calling Guy fan-fucking-tastic and the one to watch. He hangs up and claims he has Guy's best interests at heart. Guy asks if he looks that stupid. What follows is a brutal fight about lying, burnout, dues, and who made whom. Buddy says he earned the right to belittle people; Guy wants his life back. Buddy points at the door, recites way it goes, then hits on Dawn and tells her never to apologize.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Listen to me, nobody else, because I have your best interests at heart.”
听我的,别听别人的,因为我是真心为你着想。
字面是体贴,刚撒完谎就说出口,假关心把人锁进忠诚里。
have sb's interests at heart
真关心时能用;听领导这么说,先看他刚做了什么。
我是为你好 / I'm only looking out for you
informal
else后稍停,重砸 heart。
“I told you what you wanted to hear.”
我告诉你的,是你想听的话。
一句把讨好说成策略:不是撒谎爱好,是活下去的应答。
tell sb what they want to hear
承认自己以前顺着说、或提醒别人别只爱听好话。
顺着你说 / I said what you needed to hear
informal
told、wanted 重读,hear 降调。
“I made you.”
是我造就了你。
三个词把恩情改成所有权:你的成功是我的资产。
I made you
极强控制句,日常少说;听懂它是在收债,不是感谢。
没有我你什么都不是 / You'd be nothing without me
informal
三词重砸,made 略拉长。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageBecause I earned it! What, you think someone just handed me this job? I've handled the phones, I've juggled the bimbos, I've... I've put up with the tyrants, the yellers, the screamers. I've done more than you can even imagine in that small mind of yours. I paid my dues. I didn't spend one year... And I spent 10! Damn it, it's my turn to be selfish! It's my turn. See, that's the trouble with your fucking MTV microwave-dinner generation. You all want it now. You think you deserve it just because you want it? It doesn't work like that. You have to earn it. You have to take it. You have to make it yours. But first, Guy, you need to decide what it is you really want.
因为这是我挣来的! 怎么,你以为这职位是谁双手奉上的? 我接过电话,我应付过那些花瓶女人,我……我忍过暴君、爱吼的、爱叫的。 我干过的事,你那点小脑瓜根本想象不到。 该吃的苦我都吃过了。 我可不是只熬了一年…… 我熬了十年! 该死,该轮到我自私一次了! 该轮到我了。 看见没,这就是你们这帮看MTV、吃微波炉快餐的一代的毛病。 你们全都想马上得到。 你以为想要就该得到? 世道不是这样的。 你得自己挣。 你得自己抢。 你得把它变成自己的。 但首先,盖伊,你得先想清楚自己到底要什么。
What, your job is unfair to you? People use you? Life's unfair? Your girlfriend doesn't love you? Tough shit. Way it goes. Your wife gets raped and shot, and they leave their unfinished beers... their... their stinking longnecks... just lying there on the gr... so be it. Way it goes.
怎么,你这份工作对你不公平? 有人利用你?人生不公平? 你女朋友不爱你? 活该。世道就是这样。 你老婆被人强奸再开枪打死,他们还把没喝完的啤酒…… 那些…… 那些臭烘烘的长颈瓶…… 就那么扔在地…… 那就这样。 世道就是这样。
